Japanese photography had almost none. Across sixty-five years \u003cem\u003eSovetskoe Foto\u003c\/em\u003e carried fewer than forty scattered items on the subject, and exactly one article devoted to it — a translation, \u003cem\u003eThe First Photographers in Japan\u003c\/em\u003e, published in 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExhibitions were no better. In 1929 \u003cem\u003eAsahi\u003c\/em\u003e sent photographs to the USSR that were never hung. Only two Soviet exhibitions dealt with Japanese photography alone: Tokyo 1958, and this one — and only this one produced a catalogue. Twenty photographers from the Tokyo club Arc-en-Ciel, led by Nakai Masami (中居正躺) of the Royal Photographic Society, are each given one reproduction; a closing list records all 134 works shown, among them posterisations, solarisations and montages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBinding \u0026amp; condition\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal pictorial wrappers, issued without a title.
